“What he brings to the table is what a coach looks for at that position, the speed, the quickness,” Drew said, according to Yahoo.com. “The ability to make shots, the ability to get to the lane. The ability to make other people better. I don’t know where this, ‘Is he a point guard, is he a shooting guard?’ came from. He’s always, in my eyes, been a point guard. A point guard that has the ability to score, and that’s a big, big luxury.”
What Drew sees in Knight is certainly something fans had hoped to see from Jennings. Unfortunately, the pressure of trying to carry an offense made him into a player that is incapable of consistently playing point guard the right way. The good news for Milwaukee is that Knight and veteran Luke Ridnour know what it takes to help a team win, even if it means not scoring a lot of points every game.
